| The true lover of learning then must his earliest youth, as far as in him lies, desire all truth. . .He whose desires are drawn toward knowledge in every form will be absorbed in the pleasures of the soul, and will hardly feel bodily pleasures- -I mean, if he be a true philosopher and not a sham one. . .Then how can he who has the magnificence of mind and is the spectator of all times and all existence, think much of human life? He cannot. Or can such a one account death fearful? No indeed |

| Though our situation |

| Though our situation's may not be 100% mirorred, I have still learned in life to take one day at at time. If I stare directly at everything all at once, it's too much and I stop making it through. I have noticed since starting to live that way, life actually is more enjoyable. I seem to get to the good in that day faster. If I can't find the good I can usually find a reason to smile and keep my head up, which is something new for me. It's like starting fresh everyday instead of always having to carry it all at once. When I slow it all down and compartmentalize things my loneliness is just not as bad. Taking it one day at a time and moving forward each time I can, gets me through. It doesn't mean the loneliness goes away, It's just less when i focus on each day instead of all of them at once (esp combined with the past) Unfortunately as it goes we actually can't change our past but it becomes easier to see that everything we have been through has shaped us into the even stronger people we are now. A person that is actually thankful each day I wake up again and try to find some happiness in the shit:) |
